After three years of this critically acclaimed movie sitting unreleased and collecting dust(due to its numerous murder of children under 18), it was finally put out this October straight to dvd. I watched the newly released "Trick 'r Treat" twice now, and Ive decided that I genuinely love everything about it! Micheal Dougherty has accomplished an awesome balance of a John Carpenter flick mixed with an R.L. Stein Goosebumps short.
I get tired of seeing excessive gore trying to be played off as "horror"(i.e. the saw and hostel dynastys, etc). I wont act like some old fashioned tasteless violence doesn't beef up a horror flick, because it definately can. However, I'm not impressed when the entire movie is based around trying to make the girl next to me in the theater throw up. This movie skips over all that and goes for a more classic feel.
With its tongue in cheek humor and well thought out weaving of four separate storylines, "Trick 'r Treat" is an awesome example of what a Halloween movie should be. Original. Intense. Fun. Be sure to watch it!
Jamming with from hell tomorrow. I'm glad that I'm playing drums more often. Stagnation was setting it pretty quick.. Thrash! Now, off to wake someone up.
